Stefano Garzarella says: ==================== vsock/virtio: optimizations to increase the throughput This series tries to increase the throughput of virtio-vsock with slight changes. While I was testing the v2 of this series I discovered an huge use of memory, so I added patch 1 to mitigate this issue. I put it in this series in order to better track the performance trends. v5: - rebased all patches on net-next - added Stefan's R-b and Michael's A-b v4: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11047717 v3: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10970145 v2: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10938743 v1: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10885431 Below are the benchmarks step by step. I used iperf3 [1] modified with VSOCK support. As Michael suggested in the v1, I booted host and guest with 'nosmap'. A brief description of patches: - Patches 1: limit the memory usage with an extra copy for small packets - Patches 2+3: reduce the number of credit update messages sent to the transmitter - Patches 4+5: allow the host to split packets on multiple buffers and use VIRTIO_VSOCK_MAX_PKT_BUF_SIZE as the max packet size allowed host -> guest [Gbps] pkt_size before opt p 1 p 2+3 p 4+5 32 0.032 0.030 0.048 0.051 64 0.061 0.059 0.108 0.117 128 0.122 0.112 0.227 0.234 256 0.244 0.241 0.418 0.415 512 0.459 0.466 0.847 0.865 1K 0.927 0.919 1.657 1.641 2K 1.884 1.813 3.262 3.269 4K 3.378 3.326 6.044 6.195 8K 5.637 5.676 10.141 11.287 16K 8.250 8.402 15.976 16.736 32K 13.327 13.204 19.013 20.515 64K 21.241 21.341 20.973 21.879 128K 21.851 22.354 21.816 23.203 256K 21.408 21.693 21.846 24.088 512K 21.600 21.899 21.921 24.106 guest -> host [Gbps] pkt_size before opt p 1 p 2+3 p 4+5 32 0.045 0.046 0.057 0.057 64 0.089 0.091 0.103 0.104 128 0.170 0.179 0.192 0.200 256 0.364 0.351 0.361 0.379 512 0.709 0.699 0.731 0.790 1K 1.399 1.407 1.395 1.427 2K 2.670 2.684 2.745 2.835 4K 5.171 5.199 5.305 5.451 8K 8.442 8.500 10.083 9.941 16K 12.305 12.259 13.519 15.385 32K 11.418 11.150 11.988 24.680 64K 10.778 10.659 11.589 35.273 128K 10.421 10.339 10.939 40.338 256K 10.300 9.719 10.508 36.562 512K 9.833 9.808 10.612 35.979 As Stefan suggested in the v1, I measured also the efficiency in this way: efficiency = Mbps / (%CPU_Host + %CPU_Guest) The '%CPU_Guest' is taken inside the VM.

Since virtio-vsock was introduced, the buffers filled by the host and pushed to the guest using the vring, are directly queued in a per-socket list. These buffers are preallocated by the guest with a fixed size (4 KB). The maximum amount of memory used by each socket should be controlled by the credit mechanism. The default credit available per-socket is 256 KB, but if we use only 1 byte per packet, the guest can queue up to 262144 of 4 KB buffers, using up to 1 GB of memory per-socket. In addition, the guest will continue to fill the vring with new 4 KB free buffers to avoid starvation of other sockets. This patch mitigates this issue copying the payload of small packets (< 128 bytes) into the buffer of last packet queued, in order to avoid wasting memory. Signed-off-by:

In the next patch to clean up __sctp_connect(), we will remove addr_size check with size of sa_family_t from __sctp_connect() for the 1st address.

TPA v2 is different from the legacy TPA scheme on older chips and requires major refactoring and restructuring of the existing TPA logic. The main difference is that the new TPA v2 has on-the-fly aggregation buffer completions before a TPA packet is completed.

We have an ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) setup involving mv88e6250 switches which we're in the process of switching to a BSP based on the mainline driver. Breaking any link in the ring works as expected, with the ring reconfiguring itself quickly and traffic continuing with almost no noticable drops. However, when plugging back the cable, we see 5+ second stalls. This has been tracked down to the userspace application in charge of the protocol missing a few CCM messages on the good link (the one that was not unplugged), causing it to broadcast a "signal fail". That message eventually reaches its link partner, which responds by blocking the port. Meanwhile, the first node has continued to block the port with the just plugged-in cable, breaking the network. And the reason for those missing CCM messages has in turn been tracked down to the VTU apparently being too busy servicing load/purge operations that the normal lookups are delayed. Initial state, the link between C and D is blocked in software. _____________________ / \ | | A ----- B ----- C *---- D Unplug the cable between C and D. _____________________ / \ | | A ----- B ----- C * * D Reestablish the link between C and D. _____________________ / \ | | A ----- B ----- C *---- D Somehow, enough VTU/ATU operations happen inside C that prevents the application from receving the CCM messages from B in a timely manner, so a Signal Fail message is sent by C. When B receives that, it responds by blocking its port. _____________________ / \ | | A ----- B *---* C *---- D Very shortly after this, the signal fail condition clears on the BC link (some CCM messages finally make it through), so C unblocks the port. However, a guard timer inside B prevents it from removing the blocking before 5 seconds have elapsed. It is not unlikely that our userspace ERPS implementation could be smarter and/or is simply buggy. However, this patch fixes the symptoms we see, and is a small optimization that should not break anything (knock wood). The idea is simply to avoid doing an VTU load of an entry identical to the one already present. To do that, we need to know whether mv88e6xxx_vtu_get() actually found an existing entry, or has just prepared a struct mv88e6xxx_vtu_entry for us to load. To that end, let vlan->valid be an output parameter. The other two callers of mv88e6xxx_vtu_get() are not affected by this patch since they pass new=false. Signed-off-by:
